Calls for an end to "unimaginable pain and suffering" of animal
testing for cosmetics

Sir Paul McCartney has given his backing to Humane Society
International and SAFE's Be Cruelty-Free campaign, the largest-ever
global effort to end animal testing for cosmetics worldwide.

In many countries, animals such as rabbits, mice and guinea pigs
continue to have cosmetic chemicals dripped in their eyes, spread on
their sensitive skin or injected into their blood.

Such testing is already banned in Europe, and a further ban on the
sale of cosmetics that have been newly tested on animals in other parts
of the world is due to come into effect in March 2013. Sir Paul has sent
a powerful message to consumers across the globe to sign the Be
Cruelty-Free pledge and help end the suffering for good.
